Tonight: Vox Humana, American Stories, and Lazlo Holyfield


Let's face it, the American story has totally fallen out of focus over the course of the last decade; our history either forgotten or dubiously revised, while the shared consensus that formed the "center" of our politics has entirely fragmented. For my money, I think that's why our politics and our society seem to have gone wacky barely 220+ years into the American experiment. Tonight however, it'll be all good because Nietzche's has a lineup that will be a balm for the American soul: Vox Humana, American Stories, and Lazlo Holyfield. No don't get me wrong, none of these bands are specifically political, but between the indie folk/rock of Vox Humana, the acoustic folk of American Stories, and the always pleasing indie rock of Lazlo Holyfield... how could you not come away feeling good about being an American?* Come on now, don't be haters. The show starts at 10 PM at Nietzche's, and the cover as always will be reasonable.





* To our Canadian, sorry, but let's face it.... And to our immigrant and visiting readers, I say "welcome" and "enjoy the show."

Tonight: Unwelcome Guests



Some of my favorite bands are those that are beyond classification. You can't compare them to other groups, nor do they fit in those nice, neat packages that are so often ascribed for mass consumption. Unwelcome Guests is one of those bands. Post-punk, nineties alternative, indie-pop; any of those descriptions would ballpark it, yet still fall short of the mark. Listen to the excellent "Don't Go Swimming" below and judge for yourself. Tonight UG will be playing alongside two other bands that defy description, Buffalo's own Vox Humana and Tucson's Seashell Radio. Nietzche's is the place, although I'm not quite sure of the time (9ish? Anybody know?). Party on.

Tonight: Odiorne, Vox Humana, Magi Chippie


Buffalo is pretty fortunate to be home to Odiorne and the Jimy Chambers crew. As part of Mercury Rev (who started off scoring classmates' films at SUNY Buffalo's Media Studies department in the 80s), Chambers helped keep psychedelia alive through the miserably mainstream 90s, and is part of the reason why The Flaming Lips consider Western New York somewhat of a second home today. His post-Rev project, Odiorne, was putting out beach pop jams while you were still applying for the Media Studies program and jamming Hot Hot Heat between AIM sessions, so pause the new Real Estate joint and pay homage at Mohawk Place tonight (47 E. Mohawk, 8PMish). Support comes from the electric Magi Chippie, and Vic Lazar's indie-folk ensemble Vox Humana.
